Nabendu attains Work Skills with Cedar's Inclusion Works

Nabendu Das Gupta started on the Inclusion Works programme in April 2017. Nabendu was primarily interested in improving his employability skills including CV preparation, interview skills, and undertaking mock interviews with the ultimate aim of applying for jobs.

In August Nabendu was awarded a BTEC Level 2 Award in WORKSKILLS having successfully completed 70 guided learning hours. The course covered the goals Nabendu had identified and he is currently working with Case Officer, Stephen Murdie, taking proactive approach to job searching.

Inclusion Works support adults with disabilities who are keen to build employability skills and experience to be work ready, then moving into a paid job, college course or volunteering on leaving. It is person-centred, encouraging and supporting individuals to design their own programmes around their needs and aspirations, building confidence and independence. Inclusion Works is funded by the Northern Ireland European Social Fund Programme 2014-2020 and the Department for the Economy. Funding is also provided by the Department for Communities and all five local HSCTs in Northern Ireland.

The Cedar Foundation was set up in 1941 as the Northern Ireland Council for Orthopaedic Development and, forover 75 years, we have grown from an organisation dedicated to a single condition to one that focuses on the needs of the individual, whatever their disability.

Cedar delivers a range of services that enable people with disabilities to get the most out of life and to be fully included in their communities. Our services are centered around the individual needs of each person and are delivered throughout Northern Ireland.
